Why can microdosing Ozempic be risky?

Inaccurate dosing: Methods like click counting are not precise and discouraged by manufacturers.

  • Reduced effectiveness: Subtherapeutic doses may fail to deliver intended weight loss or glucose control benefits.
  • Side effects: Underdosing can cause unpredictable adverse effects, including GI symptoms.
  • Contamination risks: Breaking open pens or tampering with vials can expose medication to bacteria.

Lack of clinical oversight: Self-adjusting doses without clinician guidance removes essential safety checks.
